June 29-A local mainstay at Northshore City may soon go national. - [1] - The Northshore Creamery first opened its doors in 1951 by owner Bill Bradley and has become an iconic landmark of the city with it's huge rotating ice cream cone on the roof of the shop. Over the years it has remained a local favorite hangout for the residents of the city and soon captured the eyes of tourists driving through. - [2] - Bill Jr. took over the business and expanded the shop to keep up with the demand of locals and tourists. Northshore Creamery was even selected as a top-ten shop to visit by Travel 8c Tour Magazine.
In 1988, Northshore Creamery was featured in the hit Hollywood movie Future Then and Now, which made it the top ice cream shop to visit by out-of-towners and tourists. - [3] - Efforts were made by various corporations to buy the business from the Bradley family, but Bill Jr. and his son William insisted on keeping the business within the family, which pleased the residents of Northshore. - [4] - “We’re keeping things small in scale and we’re slowly expanding,” explained William. “In order to keep the quality of our ice cream fresh and just the way my grandfather created his recipes, we don't want to take any short cuts, which is why we need time.”Announcement from Acreton City Council

Janet Logan [2:15] I just got off the phone and Mr. King informed me that he wanted his order a couple of weeks earlier than originally planned. Do you think this may be possible?
Margaret Lee [2:16] There’s no problem on our end. We have all the fabrics ready and cut into their appropriate shapes and sizes. They are ready for the sewing machines.

Subject: Recycling
In response to pressure from local environmental groups, as of November 1 we will be separating all of our industrial waste for recycling. Collections will be made twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays from the regional recycling center, which will be supplying colored receptacles for different kinds of waste. All oils should be placed in the green container. All metals and glass belong in the red one. All paper waste should go into the blue one. Plastics will be collected for recycling as normal.
As this new policy also carries a financial benefit to the company, managers in all manufacturing bays are responsible for ensuring that the new protocols for waste disposal are followed, and failure to comply with the policy could result in disciplinary action.
Further information about our updated environmental practices will shortly be available on the website. Training sessions for managers will be held on Monday, October 22, but please contact me if you have any further questions in the meantime.

April 9
Dear Normanville Resident,
This year’s first Normanville Farmers’ Market will be open on Saturday, April 14, on Clark Street, between Main street and Park street. The farmers’ market will be available between 9:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. The mayor of Normanville, Tom Daley, will be present to deliver an address at the opening ceremony. A lot of local farmers, food vendors, and street performers will be at the venue.
“This vibrant market will give our local farmers a nice place to sell their fresh produce. Additionally, because we cut out some middle processes, our prices are lower than those of average grocery stores,” said Suzy Hammer, executive director of the Normanville Farmers’ Association.
Ms. Hammer also mentioned that currently there is not enough parking space to accommodate shoppers. The Normanville Farmers’ Association plans on expanding parking space in the coming months after the market has opened this Saturday. In the meantime, she advises Normanville residents who will visit the market to use public transportation in order to avoid parking difficulties.
The Normanville Farmers’ Market is different from other grocery stores that supply mass-produced food products. The market will provide organic produce that is full of essential vitamins and minerals. As you know, the market will also help the local economy.
Please come this Saturday and see what the Normanville Farmers’ Market has to offer!
Sincerely,
Normanville Farmer’s AssociationLost and Found
Parkway City is bracing for another holiday season and urging its citizens and tourists to keep track of their belongings. - [1] - Every year, more than 2000 items show up at the city lost and found located at Parkway City Hall. “But we get even more lost items during the holiday season,” explained Jean King, the managing director of the lost and found. “From around November 25 to January 2, we get a 25% increase in the number of items that are brought to US.”
- [2] - Everything from keys, sunglasses, umbrellas, and jewelry to electronic devices, luggage, and shopping bags full of newly purchased items have been brought to the center over the years. “The strangest item we got was a suitcase full of period piece costumes,” says Jean. “The intern working for a film at the time was happy to get it back.”
- [3] - If the items are not claimed within 90 days, they are auctioned off at a public event to raise money for the community center - [4] –Tech Life Hires New CEO
New York, April 12 — Amid a crisis of low sales and disappointing performance, the technology company Tech Life has hired Steve Cross as its new chief executive officer. Previously, he was the chief financial officer at the technology investment firm Esta Resources in San Francisco, California. He assumed the position of CEO at the company—based in Dallas, Texas—just this Monday. Stockholders voted unanimously for the appointment, hoping the new CEO will bring renewed vitality and strength to the company. Mr. Cross has an impressive record as a business leader who makes smart decisions," commented Lynn Dyer, the director of human resources at Tech Life. "We have faith that he will lead US in a new direction that will help develop new markets and optimize our company operations in general."
Steve Cross graduated from Chester University in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with a master's degree in business administration. He once served as head of the American League of Business Leaders and is a dedicated family man.

If there is anything I can do to help you make the transition, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Additionally, Tech Life has recently added five new managers to our company. If you have time, please visit them when they will all be attending a mandatory training session at 3:00 RM. this afternoon in Room 403.

Dear Ms. Ross,
You contacted US last week in order to ask some of our computer programmers to help your company develop a website. JM Solutions would be happy to offer you our services.
As I said on the phone, we will help design and program a website that will attract more customers and offer an online sales platform. During this time, we will need to hold meetings with your marketing division in order to best capture your company’s goals. Once the website has been completed in mid-February next year, we will hold a training seminar in order to train your employees in the skills necessary to maintain and update your website. The website development and training seminar will cost a total of $32,000. We request that a deposit of 10% be paid in advance. Please see the attached file for detailed costs and schedules.
We look forward to working with you in the near future. Our staff members will strive to meet all your needs.. Therefore, just let me know when your marketing division is available to meet US in person and discuss some of the details of the project. Please contact me at your convenience.

Dear Ms. Ross,
I have attached the current draft for the company’s budget for the first quarter of next year. As you will notice, all of the profits made from this year’s back-to-school sale are planned to be spent on billboard advertisements on the main highways. I will call a design team later this afternoon and ask them to create eye-catching images for the advertisement.
At our last meeting, you mentioned that you would like to review the budget before it is finalized. I have already included employee raises in the first quarter’s expenses, but if you can think of anything else, please let me know. I would like to have the budget finalized before next week’s planning meeting.

We are very sorry to hear about the malfunction with your deluxe refrigerator, MK1213, purchased from Thomson Appliances.

Currently, our technicians are available Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday next week. Please specify what day and what time works for you.
Additionally, if your refrigerator is under warranty, this repair will be absolutely free. Please let us know your warranty number so we can verify this before sending a technician to your house.

Announcements My Accounts Transfer Loan
Overdraft Fee On the date of June 3, you withdrew $100.00 from an ATM in Jacksonville, Florida, exceeding the limit of your debit card account. Therefore, you will be charged an overdraft fee of $30.00. This may have resulted from an accumulation of account withdrawals that were in process at the time you withdrew money from the ATM. We regret to have to make this charge whenever a member’s debit card transactions exceed his or her funds.
In the future, this mistake can be avoided by signing up for our stark Bank mobile banking service. This service only costs $2 a month. Using your smartphone, you can access your accounts no matter where you are. You can check the amount of money in your accounts, your history of deposits and withdrawals, and most importantly, pending transactions. To sign up, please e-mail US at [email protected] or call us at 904-555-4514.

I am concerned that someone may have illegally accessed my account and made a withdrawal. I lost my debit card on June 2, and upon noticing the next day, I immediately froze all of my accounts. Considering these unfortunate circumstances, I politely ask that the bank refrain from charging the fee for this unforeseen overdraft.
I would like to sign up for the banking service you recommended. It sounds like a useful service that can help me manage my finances in a more efficient manner.
Thank you for your assistance.

Dear Ms. Summers,
I am sorry to hear of your misfortunes. According to our account data, we see that you did contact us and freeze your accounts, though it looks like it was too late to prevent the withdrawal and subsequent overdraft of your account. It is a little bit unusual that the transaction that caused the overdraft was at an ATM machine a day after you say that you lost your card. Have you given your access pin to anybody recently? I would be happy to pass your request for overdraft relief on to our fraud department, but you will need to file a police report and then send us the case number that the investigating officer gives you. Once we receive this number, we can proceed with our review of your case.
Thank you and good day,
